| Title | Youth Electoral Participation: Evidence from Poland |
| Summary | Low voter turnout is usually seen as a negative but growing trend. The structure of the non-vote typically contains a large portion of youth. My interest lies in uncovering reasons of poor youth participation in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) through the example of Poland. The existing theories give a wide range of explanations to the phenomenon usually referring to the particular regions, primarily USA and Western Europe. My hypothesis is that besides the difference between youth and adults in reasons for non-voting, there is an even more important distinction as for the ultimate factors behind those reasons. I intend to answer the research question by applying both qualitative and quantitative methods, in particular doing a statistical analysis of the Polish election to the European Parliament in 2004, and comparing youth and adult absentees upon different factors. |
